Low skeletal muscle mass, low gait speed and low grip strength are hallmarks ofdiagnosing sarcopenia. However there are many different diagnostic criteria to assess sarcopenia. Objectives:Inthis  study  the  influence  of  different  criteria  for  sarcopenia  was  studied  on  sarcopenia  prevalence  in  geriatricpatients  admitted  to  an  acute  care  hospital. Design:Cross  sectional  study  design. Setting:A  geriatric  ward  of  alarge  Dutch  hospital. Participants:Geriatric  patients. Measurements:Skeletal  muscle  mass  measured  using  bioimpedance analysis (BIA), gait speed using the 4 meter walking test and grip strength. The sarcopenia prevalencewas investigated according to criteria of: muscle mass, grip strength, the European Working Group on Sarcopeniain Elderly People, the International Working Group on Sarcopenia and the Special Interest Group of Society ofSarcopenia, Cachexia and Wasting Disorders. Results:85 geriatric patients were included (61 women). Applyingthe 17 different criteria, the sarcopenia prevalence varied from 26-75% for women and from 42-100% for men. Comparing the Janssen calculation with the Maltron calculation sarcopenia prevalence ranged from respectively26-67%  and  67-70%  for  women  and  from  42-71%  and  75-100%  for  men.  Almost  all  patients  (96%)  had  a  lowgait speed. Conclusions: Sarcopenia is highly prevalent in an acute hospitalized geriatric population, although theprevalence varies widely depending on the diagnostic criteria applied. A prospective study is needed to discoverwhich criteria of sarcopenia can predict best adverse outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14283\/jfa.2014.28","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,7]],"date-time":"2021-07-07T05:15:49Z","timestamp":1625634949000},"page":"1-8","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["IMPACT OF DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA ON THE PREVALENCE OF SARCOPENIA IN AN ACUTE CARE GERIATRIC WARD"],"prefix":"10.1016","author":[{"given":"W.
